The Class of 1983 celebrates 40 years since their graduation this year. In 1983 the school was renamed Merici College, previously named Braddon Catholic Girls’ High. The uniform was the fawn dress with maroon tie and maroon skirt or trousers and fawn blouses in winter. The Year 11 and 12 girls wore mauve shirts and were known as the ‘purple shirts’. In 1977 a policy change saw the school become co-educational. A number of boys enrolled but, by the time the year commenced, the decision had been reversed. The boys who had already enrolled were permitted to remain despite this policy shift. The school witnessed the introduction of computers-an Apple Mac and two commodore computers for the whole school and Mrs Brady replaced Sister Mac as Principal. Here is a snapshot of the Class of 1983 and we hope to see you here at the College for a visit!
